The 10 Women in the World Talks We Can't Wait to Watch

You guys! It's finally time for Women in the World: Tina Brown's awesome annual convention where everyone from Angelina Jolie to Sheryl Sandberg to Hillary Clinton get together to talk about how to make the world a better place for women and girls (of course, you know this if you caught Tuesday's "5 Career Questions With Tina Brown."). Here at Glamour, we couldn't be more excited, so we put together a list of the 10 talks none of us should miss. The summit kicks off today and runs through April 5. For those of you in New York City, tickets are available at the David Koch Theatre box office. Stuck at your desk this week? Check out the live stream so you don't miss one inspiring minute!

Hillary Clinton, Tina Brown, and Meryl Streep with other attendees at the 2012 Women in the World Summit.

1. Syria, I Love You We know that Meryl Streep is one of the greatest actresses ever, but did you know she's also an outspoken advocate for women and girls? Meryl is a Women in the World veteran, and this year she'll give voice to the voiceless, by reading from the war journal of a young Syrian girl.

2. Pussy Riot RiotNadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina are the two previously imprisoned members of Pussy Riot, the Russian anonymous feminist protest band, who were serving time for playing a protest song in a Moscow cathedral. Now the formerly masked ladies are taking their issues global and fighting for penal reform around the world.

3. What Are We Telling Our Daughters/Our Sisters/Ourselves? Remember that amazing column Rashida Jones wrote for Glamour's January issue about the "Pornification of Everything"? And how you guys had so much to say about it that we published a follow-up piece on the topic in March? Well, we aren't the only ones who can't get enough: Jones is taking the stage to keep the conversation going.

4. World on Fire Did you catch The Square on Netflix? The Oscar-nominated documentary directed by 39-year-old Egyptian American (and Harvard grad) Jehane Noujaim gave an insider's view of the Egyptian revolution, and Jon Stewart is going to talk to her about how women are really faring in the wake of the Arab Spring.

5. After the Genocide: Rwanda's Women Take Charge The Rwandan genocide happened 20 years ago this month, and in its wake the country has seen women rise to unprecedented heights in government, business, and other positions of power. Rwanda's Parliament is 64 percent female—more than any other country in the world! These women are sure to give some important lessons on the importance of women leaders.

6. The Smartest Kids in the World Laurene Powell Jobs (Steve Jobs' widow) has mostly shied away from the spotlight, but she's quietly funding entrepreneurs and education initiatives through her organization The Emerson Collective. Powell Jobs will lead an important discussion about the future of education.

7. Can Women Fix Washington? Last year when Congress couldn't keep the government from shutting down, it was female lawmakers who broke the stalemate. Two women lawmakers, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (who just invited Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive to her office for a chat) and Senator Susan Collins—yes, a Democrat and a Republican—are going to sit down together and have a chat about women in Washington.

8. Sister Act: The Silvermans You know Sarah Silverman: the funny yet filthy mouthed comedian who's always showing off her boobs? Her sister Susan is a rabbi in Israel. Seriously. We can't wait to hear about how these two ended up so different from each other, and what they have in common.

9. What Would Ann Say? Sometimes the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree. Take Cecile Richards, the badass head of Planned Parenthood. She's going to talk about the life of her equally badass mother: Ann Richards, the second female governor of Texas.
